A Mysterious She-wolf

Kavi's POV

No warriors from moon realm had returned back and the rogue wolves chained in were kept in the unconscious state within the prison that covered with silver bars in our snow land created specifically for them. I wanted to end the war before they get their conscious but this is complicated than it appears. When Layla died, I have transferred my divine powers to Maayan. But unless Chandran transfers or gives up his divine powers, I can't kill him. It would have an impact on every planet. Days on earth would speed up due to the lack of Moon's pull. And the balance would affect in the Solar system.

Moon wasn't in his realm and my dark hounds confirmed his presence in Green ocean pack. It worries me because the people in the Green Ocean pack are my family. My mom had been in Council when I last checked with Alpha Ashwin. She had been having a hard time taking everything in about my identity; her nightmares that kept her away from me had come true now. She sought her mate's support to comprehend everything. I don't even know how that man had taken this issue.

The Council let the magical creatures to decide whether they want to join the war or not because each variety of creatures had been created one way or other by each divine. Vampires started recognizing the darkness resting within them as they were descendants of my people. Chandran would surely make the werewolves fight against me. With my consolidated powers now, I could easily defeat any army but I don't want to hurt anyone. Like Maayan and Layla fell for Chandran's lies, these people weren't aware of the truth

I looked at Surya and nodded my head. My eyes had turned normal. It turns black only when I was using the power of the darkness.

"Did Aadhira come back?"

I asked him. Before he could reply the knock in the door interrupted our conversation. Aadhira peeked in and entered after I nodded my head

"I have conveyed your message to him, Goddess. He wasn't sure about it but he had agreed to meet you later this evening.”

I nodded at her and directed my mind to think about the possibility of the plan I am having in my mind. Akhilan was preparing some strong potions. Jasmine was aiding him. I looked at Surya and found him rubbing over his chest like he was in slight pain with a frown. His aura wasn't good. He let out a scream in a few seconds and fell to the ground clutching his chest. Aadhira started freaking out. I asked her to calm down and touched his head and I realized he is feeling his Mate's pain. I used my power to put him to sleep and teleported him to his room. I assured Aadhira that he will be okay.

"We are going to the Cult where Vibha, Mithun and Rakshna were staying.”

I told Aadhira and teleported us to the location of the Cult Surya had told me.

It was The Elder Cult. I have been here. These people were descendants of the Vampire affected by the Moondust previously.

The Eastern side of the Cult had been surrounded with Fire and the Vampires were trying to save the people from the fire. People were running here and there to fetch water and no one seems to notice us. I turned towards Aadhira.

"Bring the Primus of this cult.”

She nodded and stopped a person and asked for their primus. I walked near the place and used my divine powers to bring a rain cloud over the building and the flame was put off within a few seconds. People stilled and a few rushed into the building to save their family. The other Vampires had now sensed the presence of some powerful vibes inside their Cult. People formed a circle around me and hissed barring their teeth. I closed my eyes and with a deep breath, I healed everyone's wounds. They gasped and everyone looked confused but stepped away from me. Aadhira rushed towards me with a Grey-haired man. When his eyes met mine, he fell to his knees and joined his palm showing his devotion towards me. His lips uttered “Goddess of Darkness!"

He sensed me!

The vampires submitted to me on seeing their Primus's submission. The cut on his forehead told me what might have happened. I smiled at him and touched his forehead healing his cut. And I know where to go. The shield was intact but some wolves had entered the place and attacked the Primus and burnt their main house and kidnapped Vibha and Akhilan's parents.

"Aadhira! If you want to check with Surya, you can go back. I am going to the Green Ocean Pack. Let me see what that cunning scoundrel had for me!"

I gave her option despite knowing she wouldn't leave me alone. I smiled when she shook her head and teleported near Pack house. I just wanted to first see what was going on there. But our presence was immediately recognized and the wolf started lunging towards us. How can I expect Chandran to leave the perimeter unsupervised?

Aadhira jumped into action as she started taking the wolves one by one before I could stop. I kept silent admiring my warriors skill when I noticed she was just defending and putting them to sleep by pressing on the pressure point behind their neck. I grinned when I inhaled Jackfruit smell. It feels like years since I met that idiot. My eyes were searching for him and sighed to see him running towards us in his wolf form. He jumped at Aadhira’s direction but caught a wolf trying to attack her from behind and threw him away. I looked at him in surprise but bells rang in my head as my smile widened. Aadhira didn't notice that and turned around kicking his maw and punched his snout. "Aadhira!"

I exclaimed as she didn't hit anyone else but why him. He whined backing away but his jaw was healing. I used my powers to make the other wolves around us fall unconscious and moved towards Mukilan. He let out a growl and a kick was delivered to his rib

"Hey Aadhira, cool down! He is my friend. Stop this!"

I could see confusion and fury in her eyes. Had she recognized who he is?

The smell of oranges and a stronger aura reached my sense. Logan and Dhayalan were coming our way. I smiled at them but Dhaya just sighed. Logan's lips curled a little but his face was etched with sadness. Dhaya growled seeing his pack warriors lying unconscious around us. Aadhira took a step towards him but I caught her wrist. Dhaya growled in warning at Aadhira sensing her furious aura. Alpha can't expect everyone to submit to them.

"Kavithanjali, I demand you to leave my pack land immediately. I can't allow you to trespass and harm my pack!"

His voice came loud and clear laced with his Alpha dominance.

Aadhira was very abnormally enraged and she was about to kick Dhayalan but Mukilan blocked that in his human form. Dhaya growled again but Mukilan turned around blocking her and growled back at his Alpha. Recognition passed Dhaya's eyes and he hit his forehead with his palm. Aadhira scowled and moved behind me and muttered “shameless dog!" as he was butt naked. I would have laughed if there wasn't fuming Alpha standing in front of me. Mukilan just growled slightly and went near a tree hole to fetch shorts.

"Dhaya! We had been good friends! I don't want to change that. I know that Dustball is hiding here. Ask him to come out. And I want you to send Vibha and Akhilan's parents with me. You can't hold them captive without their consent. When did you guys start kidnapping people?”

"Dustball? Are you talking about Moon God!?"

Logan asked me with wide eyes but his eyes were smiling at my nickname.

"No one was kidnapped! Some vampires had been holding my people as captives. Moon God helped us to retrieve them back..."

"Send them with me and I will leave right now. I know how to bring him outside the earth. And I didn't realize he had turned such a coward that he didn't even have the guts to see my face. And you know I don't fight with weak people, Dhaya! But I won't let him continue his cruelty in this solar system. His end is not so far.”

A peal of humourless laughter filled my ears and my inner darkness was smirking to eat the tainted soul appeared in front of me. My wolf was still affected by his presence.

"Ah! Layla... Sorry, Sweetheart! I kept you waiting. Why are you fighting with my children? I had to give you a gift which was delivered a bit late. But you will surely like that because this wasn't completely strange to you. You have dreamt about it yesterday and I am going to make it happen today. Dhaya, take your men and go inside the pack house."

He smiled sweetly and showed me a small vial filled with brown liquid. They walked a few steps but Mukilan halted there looking longingly at Aadhira. Dhaya and Logan too stood there as if they would interfere if anything goes wrong.

I don't understand how Chandran knows my nightmare. Was his control over my wolf has something to do with this? Might be! I let my darkness to create a shield over my wolf's soul. I should have done this earlier! I could see his face showing a slight recognition confirming my doubt. My nostril flared as I recognized the content of the potion and my body shivered in disgust.

"You think that was so easy? If you lay a finger on me, I will turn you into dust. I don't give a fuck about what would happen to this solar system. I will burn every part of your body and enjoy you rot in my pit of hell.”

My friends looked at me within shock but I glared at Chandran unfazed. I told my wolf to mind link Akhilan to come to Green Ocean Pack with the same antidote just in case that bastard uses this heat inducing potion on me.

He laughed again.

"You won't be in a situation to even talk, Layla. This is the most powerful potion to make any female to submit to me. And it contains my essence. You couldn't seek solace from anyone except me... Maayan and Akhilan would feel the pain I give to you. Poor lame girl! You came straight to my trap... You are going to beg me to take you... I will let everyone enjoy the show —humiliating and abusing you in front of the people you consider as family. People have to know that darkness won't stand before the light."

He venomously spat out. A woman peeked from the Pack house. I remember her — Nina, the witch tortured me at Council that day to know about Maayan's whereabouts. Aadhira was fuming at his disrespectful words but she knew better to behave.

I felt a teleportation portal next to us and my man gloriously walked out. I kept my face unaffected while my heart was fluttering just by seeing him. The pack members were looking at my man in disappointment.

"Oh! See here... Whom we have! A traitor... Did you come alone? Where is that stupid wizard?" Chandran asked mockingly and studied my face for a reaction. Akhilan stood unfazed at Moon's loud words. Chandran was going to be surprised to know Maayan and Akhilan was one and same. He still wasn't unaware about it and thinking Akhilan's red eyes were due to him becoming a rogue. I smiled widely at Chandran as I felt a newfound strength with the presence of my man.

"Chandran! You have aged. So let me remind you that no magician is powerful than my beloved! If you could make a witch brew a potion, my man could brew antidote to that. And remember, he was the one suffered the most by your twisted brain. So he will make your soul bleed. I swear!"

I warned him expressively showing how much I repulse him. He scowled when I mentioned him as an old man.

"Layla, I might look aged but I attained equal knowledge and experience. Do you think I don't know Maayan was in his death bed? I might have mispredicted your heat. But I won't let go of the happiness of seeing you in tears again.

How do you think Aadhavan got the idea of giving Bright ashes to him? That man avoided me after a few years of your demise. But the rumours about divine of darkness gave me enough warning. The curse of Aadhavan to erase your memories off the people on earth had been broken which implies your return. I should have looked deeply in all the werewolf packs. I was busy searching for you outside the world of werewolves.

I realized that you will be returning and avenge the past. So whenever I got the chance to speak with Aadhavan, I injected this idea as the only way to get back your powers. Also, the people he interacts with have said the same to him again and again to imprint that in his mind. That's how he paid a great fortune to collect that bright ashes from the earth. He was too immersed with guilt and his love failure misery.

It was a great surprise when he actually helped me to bring you down in past. He had a huge crush on you and I used that to turn it into hatred when you started your relationship with Maayan. But Aadhavan started missing you and started seeking a way to bring you back. You really should thank him. He had done so many researches to bring life to you. He could have simply taken back his curse and everything would have been back in a jiffy! But his failures only made his mind weak.

Just as I planned he made Maayan take the bright ashes. You rejected us to live with him, right! He would never be in your life, Layla! Even if you kill me, I will die with happiness from the success of ruining your life.

See the pack you born! They still love you but pretending to be repulsive towards you for me. I will punish them after I punish you. Now sweetheart, ready to be one with me? Shh! Don't cry! No one is going to help an arrogant bitch like you!"

He slowly opened the lid of the vial and raised his hand to pour the content on me but Akhilan was faster enough to throw that away with his magic and his magical rope bound his hands behind his body. Chandran looked at Akhilan with a look of wonder and surprise. I could see Chandran was reading Akhilan's soul. The great thing I learnt from his lengthy speech is Aadhavan had really regretted his actions and he deserves my forgiveness. And here the oblivious Man of Moon is going to get his justice.

"Does it look like crying? It's happy tears, Dustball! My friend redeemed his forgiveness from me. If you hadn't revealed how cruel you are, I would have taken more time to trust Aadhavan. Thanks to you.

And what did you said? I could never live with Maayan and you will die satisfied! Sorry, Dustball. You aren't going to get that satisfaction. Now you have seen Maayan hadn't died. He is here - the most powerful wizard. You haven't mispredicted my heat cycle. I went on heat. But he prepared a potion to stop that. And now you can do whatever you want with this dirty potion, my people are here. They won't let anything go wrong and I am not the same old Layla. I'm Kavithanjali! The part of the wolf in me made me immune to Bright ashes! Maayan's magic and Akhilan's determination made me more powerful and no one in my realm is prone to Bright ashes anymore!

In fact, this wasn't a trap for me but you have been caught in the trap you have set. (*Letting the darkness flare off my skin and my eyes turning black*) Now you are going to get what you deserve!" I summoned the darkness from celestial and trapped Chandran within a bubble! He thrashed around but the celestial darkness has the power to dull the Moon's light and Akhilan's magical rope had him tied. His limited powers made him helpless and I drained his energy making him go unconscious. I noticed Dhaya trying to shift to his wolf but Alpha Sezhiyan stopped him.

"Dad! She is going to take our Moon God. She might kill him..."

"Shut up, Dhaya! Vibha gained her conscious. I have seen her memories that her mate shared. Not everything that glitters is Gold! Let her go!"

"But dad..."

"Are you challenging me, Son?"

Sezhiyan's Alpha voice shut Dhaya effectively. He looked at my direction with regret and guilt.

He was the first one to get a clue about my real identity. I looked into his eyes seeing the memory of the past.

***Three years old Kavi ran towards him with a bright smile but halted in her steps and fell to her knees with a small mewl. Alpha Sezhiyan could sense she was going to shift. He took a step forward but a big black lotus emerges from the earth which swallows the little girl. He rushed there in panic but the petals blossoms and a shining silver furred wolf pup was sitting inside the flower with her tongue out. He froze in his steps mesmerised at the sight and the flowers went back to the earth and the pup runs towards him and bites and drags the bottom of his pant breaking his stun feature. **

I nodded at Aadhira and teleported Chandran to Sun's realm. She knew the plan and she can take care for now. I walked to Alpha Sezhiyan.

"Kavi... Um... Goddess..."

I hugged him and he got silent. I could feel he was out of words.

"I wish I was born to you. You have taken care of me like a father until I leave the pack. What you did wasn't your fault. No one can change destiny. In fact, I should thank you for helping me solve the mystery of who I am. Don't feel guilty or ashamed. I am so proud of you, dad. And I always love you. As I took the oath while joining the pack, I will even give my life for this pack.

Dhaya and Logan, I know the love you carries for me in your heart. Don't think that you failed to save the Moon God. The truth will be revealed soon. And I am taking your third in command with me. He needs to make his mate accept him. I can't stay long as I have a long due duty to be paid. I promise to visit again. Mukilan, I am teleporting you to my realm. You will get dizzy at your first teleportation. I hope we would be back before you wake up."

I used my powers to teleport him. Aadhira wasn't going to be happy to see Mukilan in the realm. I smiled at them and turned around and saw the rubies eyed man looking at me with so much adoration and love which I have been used to but I will never get tired of that. I furrowed my eyebrows and kept my lips in a thin line to mock him.

I teleported to Sun's realm without a word to Akhilan with an internal smirk of annoying my lovely mate. I hope the little attempt I had planned goes as I expected!
